I'm an Assistant Professor of Linguistics and Cognitive Science at Pomona College.
I am a psycholinguist and experimental semanticist/pragmaticist, specializing in discourse.
I also work on exclamatives (e.g., What a cute puppy you have!) and their interactions with clause-embedding predicates.
Last but not least, I am a fieldworker with expertise in Santiago Laxopa Zapotec and Hawai'i Creole.
I received my Ph.D. in Linguistics from UC Santa Cruz, co-advised by Pranav Anand and Amanda Rysling.
After that, I was a postdoctoral researcher at University of Oxford, first with Daniel Altshuler as part of a project investigating discourse phenomena within single clauses,
and then as a Leverhulme Trust Early Career Fellow investigating a wide range of discourse phenomena.
